Hi everyone,

I've always struggled with jackets that fit or are suitable for my cocker spaniel.
My main problems are:
- jacket slipping to one side consistently, but he hates those elastic straps that go around the hindlegs
- The under section is always too far back and ends up with pee on the edge (fed up of washing fleeces daily in winter)
- Not long enough over his back
- too tight around his chest
Just to name a few.
I'm considering just making his coats myself at this point.

I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced similar issues with theirs?

A lot of us like the Equafleece brand, they do a variety of styles and sizes, even catering for shapes like Dachshunds and French Bulldog types.

Or, you could try something like this -

We always use the "Equafleece" polo neck coats for our lot. ( all Cockers ) the girls all wear 22" coats.
Depending on the size of which girl a coat is on they vary slightly. We did once have a boy who was a bigger chap than any of the girls and he had a 24" polo neck coat.
We wouldn't use anything else.
